The OpenBSD Foundation

Donating to the Foundation

The OpenBSD foundation exists as a place where donations can be made
to further OpenBSD, OpenSSH, and related software projects. We are
a Canadian federally incorporated not-for-profit corporation, which means
funds directed to us must be directed towards our stated objects, other
than what we require for operating overhead. We endeavour to keep our
overhead as small as possible.

We are not a registered charity, in the sense that we do not issue
tax deductible receipts. The reporting overhead (accounting and legal
costs) to operate a registered charity in Canada is prohibitive
without a sizable revenue stream. Currently, this would divert a great
deal of resources that could be better utilised in helping build good
free software. We can issue receipts for donations which while
not deductible as charitable donations in Canada may be used for
accounting and/or tax purposes.

The Foundation will work in cooperation with the OpenBSD development
team to ensure funds are applied to areas of greatest need - Normally
this includes paying for infrastructure costs (networking) and for developer
events for collaborative development effort (hackathons). See Here for a list of what we have been involved with recently, and our 2017 Fundraising Campaign
